The newly constituted Fourth Administration of the Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has conveyed its profound gratitude to the Knesset, Deputy Speaker, Nissim Vaturi, and Mrs. Limor Son Har-Melech for what it described as historic reception in Jerusalem.
In a statement, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, noted that the separatist organisation is excited with the reception and other international camaraderie which to him ignites hope in the prospect of an Independent Biafra soon.
“The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the leadership of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and coordinated by the Fourth Administration of the Directorate of State headed by Mazi Chris Nwaọgụ, extends its deepest appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to the Knesset of the State of Israel, particularly His Excellency Nissim Vaturi, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, and Mrs. Limor Son Har-Melech, Deputy Chairman of the Knesset and Member of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, for the warm, brotherly, and highly productive reception accorded to our delegation in Jerusalem.
“This historic engagement marks a significant milestone in IPOB’s peaceful international diplomatic outreach. We are sincerely grateful for the solidarity expressed — particularly the recognition that this is a global struggle between good and evil, and that good shall ultimately triumph when principled nations stand together, the statement reads.
Powerful further noted that, “The constructive discussions in Jerusalem powerfully echo the longstanding conviction of our leader, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, that Biafra’s redemption will be advanced through strategic partnerships with Israel and the United States of America, rooted in shared values of justice, liberty, and human dignity.”
According to him, “The Jewish and Biafran peoples share deep historical affinities forged through persecution, discrimination, displacement, and existential threats. Israel’s rebirth in 1948 remains an enduring inspiration. Today, as Judeo-Christian communities and other minorities face systematic slaughter and genocide across Nigeria, Biafrans are more determined than ever to secure our own future.”
He affirmed that, “IPOB firmly believes that the restoration of Biafra as an independent sovereign state is the only viable and lasting solution. An independent Biafra will serve as a secure homeland and safe haven for persecuted Judeo – Christians and other vulnerable minorities across Nigeria who are currently threatened with extinction. This will bring genuine peace, security, and stability to the region through respect for universally recognised principles of human rights, self-determination, and international law.”
While acknowledging the Jerusalem breakthrough as part of a wider lawful diplomacy and peaceful engagement, which he said continues in Washington, D.C., and other capitals, vowed the agitation can neither be suppressed by political pressure nor derailed by financial influence of a people’s legitimate quest for freedom when pursued with dignity and in accordance with international norms.
“We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to non-violent struggle, the rule of law, and constructive international engagement as championed by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
